What therapy looks like.

To get started, schedule a free 15-minute consult. This gives us a chance to see if your therapy needs and my therapy services align. If it is a good fit, we will schedule an initial intake to further discuss your therapy needs and treatment goals. In subsequent sessions, we will discuss a treatment plan, introduce coping skills, and begin therapy.

Below are the therapies I provide:

  • cognitive behavioral therapy

  • dialectical behavior therapy skills

  • acceptance and commitment therapy

  • prolonged exposure

  • cognitive processing therapy

Flexible connection.

I offer telehealth appointments through a secure, user-friendly platform. You will need a device and wifi, and will need to be presently located in the state of Virginia during sessions.

Multiple payment options.

I accept Aetna, Cigna, and Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield Virginia insurance. Paying through your insurance is simple and I can provide information on your co-pay prior to your first session.

If you are paying out of pocket, I can provide a superbill that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement, if applicable.

I offer a number of sliding scale options as well - please reach out for more information.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and offer therapy to clients residing in the state of Virginia. I take a collaborative approach to therapy. My style is warm and honest, while also holding clients accountable so that they can reach their goals.

I received my doctoral degree in combined clinical/counseling psychology at Utah State University and completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the National Center for PTSD, VA Boston Health Care System. I received generalist training, delivering therapy in hospital, private practice, primary care, and inpatient settings. I also completed specialty training for delivering PTSD therapies.

Beyond my clinical work, I conduct research on mental health, sexual violence, and trauma at RAND, a nonprofit research organization. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journal articles and presented at national conferences. My research directly informs my clinical work.
